Not my cup o' tea but interesting snippet of rock history.

"It was the 60s, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan...."

[Panamark]

To think many of us are genetic products of that !!!:confused11:

"So she said if everything went legal by the time we get down to it, make it free and last for years!" LOL

Rick Danko stoned out of his mind sings better than Bob Dylan sober. I'm surprised he lived as long as he did.

Loved American Beauty and Workingman's Dead; great albums, great songs. Had less use for the rest of what the Dead did, particularly those stoned twenty-minute live jams.

Shared a flat once with a filthy, dirty hippy wannabe and his slacker girlfriend (who had hairy pits and reeked of week-old patchouli oil). Lazy bugger never had motivation to pay all of his share of the rent or living expenses, or even bathe very often, yet he always found the energy to score his "weed, man" and follow the Grateful Dead around the East Coast whenever the "spring tour rolled around, man." These two bums were endemic of the explosion of Gen Xer "fans" who "discovered" the band around the time the In The Dark album was released and the song Touch of Grey was a single. Dude had seemingly millions of bootlegs, and would get baked, light up another incense stick and blather on about how the band hadn't played Dark Star in 11 years, or some such nonsense. It was worth paying his share of the rent in full to see the expression on their faces when they finally shortchanged me on their share of the rent one month too many, went away for a week to see the band, then came back and found all their smelly tapestries, lava lamps and "weed seed collection, man" on the steps leading up to the flat. All their friends were the same way; no job, always claiming to be broke yet always with full sacks of weed/hits of acid, always looking for someone else to feed them.

What a worthless bunch of fans...one imagines the original hippie fanbase was only slightly less obnoxious.

Dave Matthews Band and The Grateful Dead....
2 Bands that I never understood what the fuss was
about ??

I like your fan description, for some reason it reminds
me of that "knocked up" movie.....

[FORD]

Never could get into DMB at all. Seems like a decent enough guy. He's on the same side of political things as I am. Even a transplanted Cascadian. And his Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor "One Sweet Whirled" is OK, but it's no Cherry Garcia. Or even Phish Food.

Musically though, I just can't get into them, but the Dead, that's another story.

Howdeeeeee Panamark!!!!

GREAT to see you around as well!! You know what? I still miss the State Your Take ("Steak" as our numerous detractors would call the place :D), too bad you can't even access it anymore.
Anyway, as you once said, we can still "cook" some other "Steak" stuff again someway! :cool:

For froggie accents maybe you can try this:

The Grateful Dead's "Casey Jones" tells about the ambiance on that train touring Canada in the summer of 1970.
I'm not a "Dead" fan, but they were amazing musicians and this particular song is really great IMO.:cool:

[Jérôme Frenchise]

What I remember about the story is that Garcia suddenly thought that the train wasn't driven as it should, so he went up to the driver's cabin to drive it himself (which he was eventually kept from doing of course). :D

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones is ready, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

This old engine makes it on time,
Leaves central station bout a quarter to nine,
Hits river junction at seventeen two,
At a quarter to ten you know it's travelin' again.

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones is ready, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

Trouble ahead, lady in red,
Take my advice you'd be better off dead.
Switchman's sleeping, train hundred and two is
On the wrong track and headed for you.

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jone's is ready, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
Got two good eyes but you still don't see.
Come round the bend, you know its the end,
The fireman screams and the engine just gleams...
